It can't be done with that particular amplifier. It has to be BUILT that way, with the strapping capabilities built into the amp from the beginning. The 8152 doesn't have the capabilities, and you run the risk of smoking one or both of your amps if you try it...
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

So how abouts would I go wiring TS-W3001D4 or 2 which ever would work. I was talking to my friend last night and he says it wasnt possible but i think anything is possible.

They are mono amplifiers, so you could use either the 2 ohm OR the 4 ohm version. Wire one amp to each voice coil. Done and done. NEXT!!!
Not everything is possible. For instance, I have already told you that strapping your existing amplifiers ISN'T possible, without damaging them! dual mono drive? - Page 2 -- posted image.

Sorry for being a pain in the ***. Still trying to figure this all out... If I was running 2ohms would I be getting a lot more out of my amps then if I was running 4ohms?  Just trying to get a grasp on all of this.

Reason being my first sound system was just slapped together and it sounded good and all but I know for a fact that it has more potential. But also want to downsize at the same time. I want to do this system right and keep it for a long while.

Yes, you'll get more power at 2 ohms; all I was saying was that you could use EITHER the 4 ohm, DVC woofer OR the 2 ohm DVC woofer. That is the ONLY way you will be able to get all the power (either all the 4 ohm power OR all the 2 ohm power - it doesn't matter) from both of the amps into one woofer - by using a DVC woofer, and connecting one amplifier to each voice coils as though they were separate woofers, even though they aren't.

The TSW1207D4 is 400 watts RMS, right? and that amp puts out over 500 watts rms @ 2 ohms, right?? Why use two amps then? not trying to sound rude, just curious....
...don't crush the weasel...

I went to the local shop and they gave me a price for the TS-W3001D4  that I can not refuse. So I am going with that model its 1000rms at 2ohms.  not rude just curious i agree.
